Anyone know how to reset the airbag light. Its a 95GT and it flashes all the time. Thanks

Figure out what's broke and fix it . The airbag light should be flashing a code that you can use to diagnose what's wrong.

I dont think anything is wrong. Im not sure though. It was wrecked in the front once before but not bad. Thats when the light came on. The sensors didnt get hit. If anyone knows how to reset the light would help. Thanks

If the light is flashing there is something wrong. Its flashing a code at you find out what code is being flashed and check that sensor.

Also worth noting -- when the airbag light is flashing, it is more likely that they will go off unexpectedly than that they will not work in a crash. I got that bit of wisdom from a Ford tech back when a buddy of mine's 94 GT was constantly flashing the airbag light. He had it fixed four or five times under warranty but it would keep coming back. Turns out the Ford tech was wrong in that case, though -- when he did wreck the car, the airbags activated about 1 second too late (can you say, OUCH).

Anyways. Count the flashes, then search online for the code or just run by the Ford dealer and ask them to look it up for you. I bet it's a loose connection somewhere.
